books by C. S. Lewis     books:       A Grief Observed133 reviews C.S. Lewis Bantam, 1979 A Book of Great Beauty and Intelligence Although Lewis was, of course, a renowned and devout Christian, this book will speak to anyone who's lost someone with whom they shared real love. All of the questions, angers, and doubts that fill the mind during the numbing time following great loss are shared in the first person, generously, by Lewis. This is, I think, a beautiful, powerful, and deeply healing work.             The Screwtape Letters (Gift Edition)366 reviews C. S. Lewis HarperOne, 2001 Enlightening read for committed (and thinking) Christians I don't know how well this great book translates to agnostic readers, but for me it was a very enlightening and concrete way to understand what it means to try to be a good man in a world of temptation. In keeping with the time period, I believe it was Winston Churchill who said "All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing". In the Screwtape Letters the senior tempter, tells his ...             The Four Loves69 reviews C. S. Lewis Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, 1960 All loves in Love Within this work, Mr. Lewis is quick to point out the inherent difficulty with regard to the concept of love facing individuals whose native tongue is English. That is, it is easily recognized that there exists an extreme deficit when one applies the same word to describe the sentiment shared with one's spouse, as well as their favorite food. In such extreme cases of difference in terms of the ...             Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold188 reviews C.S. Lewis Harcourt Brace & Company, 1980 C.S. Lewis's Masterpiece The first time I read Till We Have Faces, upon finishing the last page I immediately returned to the first page and began reading it again, something I have felt compelled to do only one other time in my life. It was Lewis's last work of fiction and, in spite of being written in first person from the viewpoint of ancient queen in a largely mythical past, his most personal. His deepest thoughts on ...             The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics70 reviews C. S. Lewis HarperOne, 2007 For the casual reader and the avid fan alike This is a beautiful book, and from my experience, you will not find it in stores for less than $60. It was delivered on time, in perfect condition, and cost a lot less (including shipping), than it was in stores. This makes a beautiful gift or addition to a personal collection.             The Chronicles of Narnia130 reviews C.S. Lewis HarperCollins, 2004 Great read It is a full hard covered book. The total unabridged version. A great read for a parent to read with their child. Worked great for parents as reading partners.             The Chronicles of Narnia (Box Set)1010 reviews C. S. Lewis HarperCollins, 1994 A wonderful book for young adventurers The Chronicles of Narnia Boxset (The Magician's Nephew; The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe; The Horese and His Boy; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Threader; The Silver Chair; The Last Battle) Before I let my five-year-old son see any movie version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, I wanted him to read it first and create his own interior images of Narnia. His imagination will ...             Mere Christianity440 reviews C. S. Lewis Barbour Publishing, Inc., Westwood, NJ, 1985 An invitation to be transformed ... Fitting, I think, to be reading what may arguably be one of C. S. Lewis's most important books, on a retreat during which one of my personal goals was to find a spiritual, if not religious, inner peace. Reading the work of C. S. Lewis is to meet a friend who reflects us and understands us--and helps us to understand. Who of us has not asked these questions? Who of us has not prayed these ...             The Complete Chronicles of Narnia CD Box Set44 reviews C. S. Lewis HarperAudio, 2005 Charming, inspirational, fun A favorite series since I was young, but seems to get better with age! I find the lessons and characters erupting --like magic-- into my own life. Though generally considered Christian-based, it stands alone. The performances are all wonderful, but Kenneth Branagh is truly inspired in "The Magician's Nephew". He is a brilliant (as the Brits would say) story teller. It makes me laugh out loud ...             The Great Divorce219 reviews C. S. Lewis MacMillan Publishing Company, 1978 One way ride to forever With each and every book I read by C.S. Lewis, I become an ever more admiring fan. While I cannot say this is my favorite of his works (for that spot, I reserve "Mere Christianity," followed by "A Grief Observed"), it is as fascinating and insightful a ride as any of his. C. S. Lewis is exceptional in his ability to take the most complicated human issues and make them understandable. Blending ...             That Hideous Strength89 reviews C. S. Lewis Macmillan, 1968 That Hideous Writing Hideously good, that is. This is the final book in his space sequence. It seems everytime I mention Lewis, some person is like, oh yeah, Narnia! Please. He wrote Narnia as an afterthought. His actual work is the Space Sequence, a serious look at Sci-Fi from a Christian perspective. Him and Tolkien teamed up back in tha day, him doing scifi and Jrr doing fantasy. Turns out Jrr was actually quite ...             C.S. Lewis: The Signature Classics Audio Collection: The Problem of Pain, The Screwtape Letters, The Great ...9 reviews C. S. Lewis HarperAudio, 2005 An outstanding and challenging series There are few books that make you stop and take an accounting of who you are, what you're about and how you fit into time and the universe more than Mere Christianity. While it was originally a radio series (BBC) broadcast during WWII, it's approach is as applicable now as it was then or at any point in time. If you have any doubts, concerns or interests regarding the existance of God ...             Perelandra (Space Trilogy, Bk. 2)89 reviews C.S. Lewis Scribner Paper Fiction, 1965 The best of the series C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy is easily one of the best series I've ever read, and while each volume is so strong that it's difficult to choose the best, Perelandra, the second book, builds well on the foundation laid by Out of the Silent Planet and, in the end, outshines the final book, That Hideous Strength. The story begins as Lewis, writing himself into his own story, arrives in the English ...             The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe82 reviews C.S. Lewis HarperCollins Publishers, 2005 Wonderfully Written Book This is one of the very few books I can truly say I will read over again. It is very well written, never short of any details, and I couldn't wait to see what happened each time. It kept my interest throughout the enitre book. It is quite easy to imagine Aslan, the four children, the beavers, the white witch, and all the characters. And each character has a distinct personality. You learn ...             A Severe Mercy76 reviews Sheldon Van Auken, C. S. Lewis Blackstone Audiobooks, 1997 A Theology of Joy Not only is this a beautiful story, but it is a rich and profound study in the theology of joy, on par with C.S. Lewis' 'Surprised by Joy'. Really, the book is a fleshing out of Lewis' theology of joy through the life and mind of Vanauken. It is so moving and so well done that I snatch up used copies whenever I see them to give away as gifts. If you enjoyed this book see also Peter Kreeft, ...             The Screwtape Letters3 reviews Ralph Cosham C. S Lewis Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006 Be vigilant and learn the ways of illusion C S Lewis is brilliant in his interpretation of the "evil one". Beware and be on the lookout for the demonic. Obsessions, compulsions, self-righteousness are all tricks of the trade. But more subtle forms of illusion are; spritual pride that creeps us when you least expect it. One needs to be on the "alert". Other books for your consideration: People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing ...             Problem of Pain [UNABRIDGED]91 reviews Robert Whitfield C. S. Lewis Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006 Of Human Suffering The question or 'problem' that C.S. Lewis sets out to answer in "The Problem of Pain" is one that has confounded believers and non-believers alike: if God is good and loves his creation, why does he allow such pain and suffering to exist? How can that be good and exist within his creation? While Lewis' ponderings may not seem like straightforward answers to those questions, he paints a picture ...             The Abolition of Man81 reviews C. S. Lewis HarperOne, 2001 "The Needed Antidote" This is a marvelous book for showing the rank and file American college freshman just how he or she may have been unwittingly propagandized in the lower grades. The reigning studenty "philosophy" these days is indistinguishable from classical sophistry's arguments that "everything is relative" and -since everyone has a right to his opinion - that all opinions are necessarily of equal value. I ...             Out of the Silent Planet158 reviews c.s.lewis The Macmillan Company, 1970 Clever sci-fi AND a compelling allegory! Elwin Ransom, an Oxford don and an ardent philologist, is enjoying a solitary cross country ramble on his vacation when he encounters Professor Devine, a long-time acquaintance from his student days at Oxford, and Weston, a somewhat distracted and grumpy, reclusive individual. Weston is, in fact, a physicist who has secretly built a space craft in which he and Devine plan to return to Mars ...              search for books abolition, audio, christianity, chronicles, classics, collection, complete, divorce, edition, grief, hideous, letters, loves, mercy, narnia, observed, perelandra, planet, problem, retold, screwtape, severe, signature, silent, space, strength, trilogy, unabridged, wardrobe, witch books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
